...all of the photos I'm [Dan Cadman, the author] seeing of Saipov are copies of the same mugshot [see Comment #1]...What was he arrested for?...if Saipov had been arrested in New York City, the site of the attack and a notorious sanctuary jurisdiction, the city itself would have released him back to the street so that he could go on to commit the attack.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) proudly announced the names of the other theater-kid members he wants to join him on a new subcommittee investigating what happened on January 6, 2021, and it goes as badly as you imagine. To kick things off with this clown car, Jeffries named Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) to be the lead Democrat on the new subcommittee. And as you can expect, Swalwell took the mic and suggested J6 was just like other days that will live in infamy in our history, like Pearl Harbor and September 11, 2001. It’s almost too dumb to respond...

New York State Attorney General Letitia James and her niece Nikia Monique Thompson Last week, President Trump posted my Gateway Pundit article on Truth Social, Letitia James Caught Harboring Fugitive! — Jailbird Niece is Hiding Out in Letitia’s “Primary Residence”. Since then, I have obtained the current active Order for Arrest for fugitive Nikia Monique Thompson, daughter of New York Attorney General Letitia James’s niece. According to the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction, Thompson remains a wanted “Absconder” (offender number 0898340), with law enforcement actively searching for her. Now the situation intensifies. North Carolina authorities are now aware that...

The deranged homeless man charged with butchering a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee on a Charlotte train was free on cashless bail after a magistrate released him with just a “written promise” to show up for court — despite a nearly two-decade history of violence and mental illness. Decarlos Brown Jr., 34, was arrested at least 14 times in North Carolina for crimes ranging from assault and firearms possession to felony robbery and larceny dating back to 2007. His own mother told local TV station WSOC that her son was schizophrenic and should never have been allowed to roam the streets. Horrifying...

New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist, said Sunday he hoped to convince wealthy New York City residents that paying increased taxes would improve "even their quality of life." "How do you bring these wealthy residents to the table as mayor? Stop them from saying they’re leaving, going to Florida because we need that tax revenue to pay for some of the things you’re talking about. How do you pay for it if they’re gone?" MSNBC "PoliticsNation" host Rev. Al Sharpton asked Mamdani. Mamdani said the top 1% of earners in the city make about $1 million...

[PHOTOS OF DOCS AT LINK.........................] Guest post by Joel Gilbert Letitia James’s New York State mortgage records indicate that she committed mortgage fraud on a $200,000 “Credit Line Mortgage” with Citizens Bank in 2021. Like other mortgages, it requires a signed note, a mortgage document, and recording with the county clerk. The mortgage document shows that James misrepresented her five-unit apartment building as a single-family dwelling. This false claim allowed James to avoid significantly higher commercial loan closing costs and a higher interest rate. In New York, the number of units in a property determines whether a loan qualifies as...

New York City mayoral candidate and Democratic Socialist Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani is doubling down on his push for government-run grocery stores — even as real-world examples suggest the idea doesn’t work. In an appearance on CNN NewsNight Friday, Mamdani defended his plan to spend $60 million of taxpayer money to open five city-run grocery stores, one in each borough. He insisted the program would deliver “cheaper groceries,” not free food, and claimed that food has become a luxury New Yorkers are being “priced out of.” CNN host Abby Phillip pressed Mamdani on why the government — which routinely struggles to...

New York — As President Donald Trump tried to push candidates out of the New York City’s mayoral race, a longtime state senator called on other Democrats to put aside differences with Zohran Mamdani, who has roiled the party since his stunning win in June’s mayoral primary. “Whether you agree with every one of his policy proposals or not,” wrote state Sen. Liz Krueger in her Friday statement endorsing Mamdani, “there is simply no question that he is committed to serving the interests of regular New Yorkers, not his own interests and especially not the interests of Donald Trump, who...

Detectives working the Gilgo Beach murders on Long Island visited Jones Beach after discovering disturbing evidence — including a bloody glove — near where suspect Rex Heuermann once worked, The Post has learned.

New York Attorney General Letitia James has appealed the court ruling that tossed out the intense penalty imposed on President Trump and his business following her civil fraud case. “Her office filed a notice of appeal Thursday with New York’s highest court, signaling its intention to challenge a midlevel appeals court’s decision that wiped away the roughly $500 million penalty but otherwise affirmed the trial court,” reported The Hill on Thursday. “Judges on the state Appellate Division’s First Department issued a deeply fractured decision last month upholding the lower court’s determination that Trump and other defendants, including his eldest sons,...

Well, this would be an interesting development... According to POLITICO, the Mayor of New York, Eric Adams, has been offered a job in the Trump administration as a reward for dropping out of the New York City race. It would make a lot of sense, as Adams is the lowest-performing candidate in a crowded race in which it sure looks likely that Zohran Mamdani has the inside track. Trump, as we all know, is both emotionally and financially invested in the well-being of New York, and a Mamdani mayoralty could make a Bill de Blasio term look as if the...

The U.S. Open tennis championship is one of New York’s premier cultural events, attracting upscale crowds despite the controlled chaos of spectators at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, Queens. But this year, Norwegian pro Casper Ruud has complained about the pervasive and decidedly down-market smell of marijuana: “For me, this is the worst thing about New York. The smell is everywhere, even here on the courts . . . we have to accept it, but it’s not my favorite smell. It’s quite annoying to be playing, tired, and just meters away, someone is smoking marijuana.”...

Progressive darling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is teaming up with Republicans on a rare issue they have in common - taking down their colleagues who may be cashing in on insider information. Outrage has been growing about members of Congress who have been unfairly profiting from trading the very stocks they regulate. Many lawmakers have become multi-millionaires after working in Washington despite making an annual salary of just $174,000. There's been heavy scrutiny on ex-Speaker Nancy Pelosi, after her net worth nearly doubled to $265 million since 2013. Though the former speaker never tried to ban congressional trading during her tenure, she...

Top White House officials are in talks over a potential job for Eric Adams in President Trump’s administration — as pressure mounts for mayoral candidates to drop out and clear the lane for the strongest challenger against socialist Zohran Mamdani, The Post has learned. The conversations about a potential plum gig for Adams have been taking place among high-level Trump officials, but it’s unclear if they have reached the president’s desk, sources said. “I think Adams would be able to craft a position and a portfolio that’s to his liking,” a source close to Trump’s administration said. “I’ve heard the...

Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of Bill and Hillary Clinton, is seriously considering a run for congressman Jerry Nadler's open seat in NY

Jim Walden has suspended his campaign for New York City mayor, his camp announced Tuesday. “For months I have been steadfast in my view that, unless there is a one-on-one race in November, a Trojan Horse will take control of City Hall. I cannot spend more public money in the futile hope I am the one called to battle,” the beyond-long-shot independent tweeted. A rep for the former federal prosecutor’s campaign did not immediately respond to an inquiry from The Post, but a source close to the situation blamed the suspension on “personal problems. A recent poll showed Walden garnering...

Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani is likely the next mayor of New York. But his ascent should alarm anyone who still believes in the foundational principles of the Democratic PartyAmong the members of the American Islamo-leftist alliance, New York Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani is widely viewed as a rising star and likely the next mayor of America’s largest city. But his ascent should alarm anyone who still believes in the foundational principles of the Democratic Party and the health of America’s political system. Mamdani reflects the slippery slope direction the party is headed for, if it doesn’t change course very soon. Mamdani...

Former Mayor Bill de Blasio on Tuesday endorsed socialist Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani in the race for City Hall — claiming the progressive’s “bold, sweeping” agenda will save the Big Apple. “We don’t just need Zohran Mamdani to be our mayor because he has the right ideas, or because they can be achieved,” de Blasio said in a New York Daily News op-ed as he threw his support behind the front-runner. “We need him because in his heart and in his bones he cannot accept a city that prices out the people who built it and keep it running.” The...

Democrat Rep. Jerrold Nadler (NY) will not be seeking reelection, according to The New York Times. The 78-year-old lawmaker said that someone younger will do a better job right now as the Democrat party tries to court the younger generation. Nadler, who spent 34 years in Congress, is the longest serving House member in New York. The New York Times reported:
